1. An expansion-joint bridging device (1) in the form of a plate-type roadway transition (2), which bridges over an expansion joint (5) present between two edifice parts (3, 4) of a drivable edifice (8), having the following features:
the expansion joint (5) is spanned by at least three cross members (6), each braced in a load-bearing relationship on both edifice parts (3, 4), wherein at least one load-bearing bracing element permits a shifting movement of a corresponding cross member relative to a corresponding edifice part;
at least one plate (7) disposed above the cross members (6) is braced on the cross members (6);
the at least one plate (7) comprises two plate portions (7.1, 7.2) joined flush with one another in a mutually force-transmitting relationship;
the joining of the plate portions (7.1, 7.2) is by at least one strap (10) bridging over a butt joint (9) present between the plate portions (7.1, 7.2) and joined in a force-transmitting relationship with both plate portions (7.1, 7.2); and
at least one of two joints of the strap (10) with the plate portions (7.1, 7.2) is pivotable with one rotational degree of freedom around an axis extending horizontally and transversely relative to the orientation of the corresponding plate (7).
